Geoengineering to save the Arctic?
Geoengineering efforts often target the Arctic due to its crucial role in the global climate system. However, geoengineering is highly controversial in scientific communities and society. Here we offer a cross-disciplinary perspective focused on science, governance, ethics, and the inclusion of rights-holders in the Arctic, collected in the context of an International Arctic Science Committee cross-cutting activity. The purpose of this article is…
Melt pond CO2 dynamics and fluxes with the atmosphere in the central Arctic Ocean during the summer-to-autumn transition
Melt ponds are a common feature of the Arctic sea-ice environment during summer, and they play an important role in the exchange of heat and water vapor between the ocean and the atmosphere. We report the results of a time-series study of the CO2 dynamics within melt ponds (and nearby lead) and related fluxes with the atmosphere during the summer-to-autumn transition in the central Arctic Ocean during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory fo…
Effects of particle size and pretreatment methods on the morphometry of grass charcoal particles
The morphometry of sedimentary charcoal particles illuminates the source fuel types. This study explores the variation in morphometry (specifically, the length-to-width (L/W) ratio) of charcoal particles of different sizes, using charcoal collected from Miscanthus sinensis (Japanese pampas grass) fields following controlled burning. We also investigated the impact of pretreatment processes on sedimentary microcharcoals. The results indicate a gen…

Meltwater layer dynamics in a central Arctic lead
Leads play an important role in the exchange of heat, gases, vapour, and particles between seawater and the atmosphere in ice-covered polar oceans. In summer, these processes can be modified significantly by the formation of a meltwater layer at the surface, yet we know little about the dynamics of meltwater layer formation and persistence. During the drift campaign of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MO…
The record of sedimentary spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) in Beppu Bay, southern Japan, compared to historical trends of industrial activity and atmospheric pollution
Spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs) are carbonaceous fly ash particles produced solely from industrial fossil fuel combustion. SCPs in sediments can be an indicator of past industrialization. We examined the sedimentary SCP record in Beppu Bay, southern Japan, and compared this record to historical trends of industrial activity and monitoring data for atmospheric pollutions in the region. Beppu Bay has varved sediments in the absence of biot…
Beppu Bay, Japan, as a candidate Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point for the Anthropocene series
For assessment of the potential of the Beppu Bay sediments as a Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) candidate for the Anthropocene, we have integrated datasets of 99 proxies. The datasets for the sequences date back 100 years for most proxy records and 1300 years for several records. The cumulative number of occurrences of the anthropogenic fingerprint reveal unprecedented increases above the base of the 1953 flood layer at 64.6 c…
Overview of the MosaiC expedition
With the Arctic rapidly changing, the needs to observe, understand, and model the changes are essential. To support these needs, an annual cycle of observations of atmospheric properties, processes, and interactions were made while drifting with the sea ice across the central Arctic during the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition from October 2019 to September 2020. An international team desig…
Phytoliths as an indicator of change in vegetation related to the huge volcanic eruption at 7.3 ka in the southernmost part of Kyushu, southern Japan
Volcanic eruptions can have a significant influence on adjacent ecosystems; however, little is known about the long-term vegetation change related to eruptions. In this study, we examined phytolith records in paleosols at multiple sites in the southern Kyushu District, Japan, to assess the influence of the Kikai caldera eruption 7300 years ago on vegetation. Our results show the vegetational difference before and after the eruption in the study r…
Medium range sea ice prediction in support of Japanese research vessel Mirai’s expedition cruise in 2018
The Japanese research vessel MIRAI sailed into the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Strait from 4 to 25 November 2018 to study the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice of the Chukchi Sea. Early winter dynamics and thermodynamics can cause sea ice conditions to change over short timescales. Heavy ice pressure may build up in the compression of compact ice. MIRAI is an ice-strengthened ship that has to avoid thick sea ice and areas of high sea ice coverag…

Influence of the Gulf Stream on the Barents Sea ice retreat and Eurasian coldness during early winter
Abnormal sea-ice retreat over the Barents Sea during early winter has been considered a leading driver of recent midlatitude severe winters over Eurasia. However, causal relationships between such retreat and the atmospheric circulation anomalies remains uncertain. Using a reanalysis dataset, we found that poleward shift of a sea surface temperature front over the Gulf Stream likely induces warm southerly advection and consequent sea-ice decline …
Healthcare
Japan requires all of the healthcare practitioners to be qualified by national examinations and to be fluent in Japanese. Consequently, the number of immigrant workers remains very low, although Japan is faced with staff shortage. Even under the special bilateral arrangement that allows nurses and certified care workers from Indonesia and Philippines to practice temporally, there are very few who passed the Japan’s national examination: it is dif…
A 7500-year history of intentional fires and changing vegetation on the Soni Plateau, Central Japan, reconstructed from macroscopic charcoal and pollen records within mire sediment
Vegetation history during the last 17,000 years around Sonenuma Swamp in the eastern shore area of Lake Biwa, western Japan
Holocene history of intentional fires and grassland development on the Soni Plateau, Central Japan, reconstructed from phytolith and macroscopic charcoal records within cumulative soils, combined with…
Phytolith and macroscopic charcoal in cumulative soils on the Soni Plateau, Central Japan, were evaluated to clarify the Holocene history of intentional fires and grassland development, and to compare the findings with those derived from pollen and charcoal records in sediments taken from a nearby mire in the previous study. Prior to ~1500 cal. BP, Bambusoid short-cell phytoliths and Pleioblastus-type and Bambusoideae-type bulliform cell phytolit…
